USA Tuesday Night Fights

USA Tuesday Night Fights was a television boxing show that first ran in 1988. The show at one time was the longest continuing running boxing show in tv.

USA Tuesday Night Fights, as its name suggests, was run on the USA Network. Although it aired each week, few world title fights were presented in this show, one of the notable ones being when Vinny Paz, a former world Lightweight champion who had been written off boxing by doctors after a car accident a year before, returned to conquer the WBA world Jr. Middleweight championship with an eleventh round knockout of Gilbert Dele. Other shows included Roberto Duran's one hundredth fight, the returns of both George Foreman and Larry Holmes, and a show staged inside a marine aircraft carrier.

Many other world champions fought in this show, including Hector Camacho, Wilfred Benitez, Jorge Castro and Roy Jones Jr. The show was hosted by Al Albert and Sean The Champ O' Grady.

USA Tuesday Night Fights went off the air in 1994.
